Clydesdale on a treadmill!
With over 70 inches of snow in New England I began researching treadmills. I weigh in at 230lbs and run 2-3 half marathons a year so I was looking for a treadmill that could handle my weight, pace and frequent use. I looked at many treadmills and the sole treadmills continued to pop up at the top of each list in terms of quality and reliability. When we hit 90 inches of snow I opted for the f85 over the f80 primarily because of the larger motor. The f85 has the same size motor as the treadmills I was using at the gym.
I have had the treadmill for one month and have logged 80 miles on it. It seems very sturdy, the motor is able to transition up or down speeds with out a problem. At 0 incline the treadmill is actually close to 1% incline. This simulates similar effort to running on the road which I prefer anyway. There are very few frills with this treadmill. The only two things I wish the f85 had was an 8 mph button and the ability to move incline by .5. Other than that I love the treadmill.
I did not realize how big and heavy the treadmill was until the box was brought to the front of the store. The associates put the box into the back of my pickup truck and I was off. With 8 inches of snow on the way I need to get the treadmill into my basement. I managed to get the box into my house and set up the treadmill in about 2 hours. The most difficult part of the set up was getting the box into the house. I would not recommend paying the extra delivery fee if you have a truck but I would recommend having a couple of friends available to help bring the box to where it needs to be set up.

Quiet and Solid
This treadmill looks and feels like a good quality product. I've only had it a couple of weeks but I really like it.
It was easy to assemble but quite difficult to get into our basement. The track and motor are very heavy and long so be prepared to have extra hands to transport it to your final destination.
I also feel like it's pretty quiet.

1st day review
Glad I had the delivery and setup guys for this machine. Once it was set up he tested the machine and I was good to go. Did about 15 minutes and works great. I'm starting off slow now since it's been a while since I've been on the treadmill at the gym at work. Loving the convenience of having it at home so I can workout on Saturdays and Sundays and get up in the morning during the weekdays, instead of an evening workout.

Good performance & value for running
I run extensively on a treadmill at the health club during the winter. The F85 is a great at home option for winter running. It's sturdy with good cushioning on the deck, and it's relatively quiet during operation. The motor and belt work very well.
The installation crew was very professional. I'm very happy with the F85 so far.

Escellent Treadmill
Set-up product in about 1 hour. It ran great and the kids love it. They are running about a mile a day 8 and 11 year olds while being supervised.

Great Treadmill
The Sole F85 is the best treadmill I have been on. I like the dashboard, it has everything I want and I really like the quarter mile track that it has on it. It is heavy so if you are going to bring it home yourself you will need some extra help.

Needs improvement
I purchased my F85 based solely on the positive reviews it received. Probably my biggest issue with it is the amount of time it takes to speed up and slow down - nearly 1 full minute it takes to go up or down speed before it reaches what it is set to! The belt continually slips even though I've added the tube of grease it comes with and if cranked it about as tight as it'll go and the fan it comes with is useless. Also, the heart rate monitor for your hands is way too close to the front I end up stepping all over the cover for the motor. Very poor design for the price.

Solid, Quiet, Very User Friendly: this is a standout machine!
My husband (6'2") and I(5'2") are new to treadmill exercise and wanted a machine that would offer varied workout programs and wouldn't have a steep learning curve. After intense research we chose the Sole F85 - mainly because it has:
- 2 separate User profiles
- 2 Heart Rate Programs
- hand bar control for easy incline and speed adjusts
- very clear and simple console - great visuals with no worries about internet connections, obsolete software ... yes it's bare bones but keeps track of every important stat and can be read easily
- and because it was rated best folding Treadmill for 2014
So far (1 week in) this machine exceeds our expectations. Starting with the excellent service provided during the in house delivery and assembly through to using it on a daily basis this is the perfect machine for our needs and will grow with us as we get fitter.

Awesome Machine
This machine is awesome! It's durable, easy to use, and the programs are very helpful. I enjoy connecting my iPhone and utilizing the incline feature.

F85 is worth every dime!!
I've been on a lot of treadmills from home models to gyms. This is without a doubt the best treadmill I've ever run on. I'm a heavy runner and needed something that was easy on the knees and ran quiet with plent of deck length and width to accommodate my running style. This one has it all. It's heavy but once in place it's stable and won't 'walk' on the floor's surface. You can purchase a less expensive model that meets your needs but my experience says you get what you pay for. With the Sole F85, you're getting more than you pay for, especially if purchased on sale.
